Doubled consonants bluff

 

Student A

Choose one of the lines on your worksheet and make it wrong by:

  • adding another (imaginary) word to make it into a pair of words both with and without a double consonant (if there is only one there)
  • delete one of the words from the pair that is there (pretending that one doesn’t exist)
  • making up one or more imaginary definitions
  • swapping the definitions of the word with doubled consonant and the word without doubled consonants
  • changing the pronunciation or spelling of one of the words

Your teacher will tell you which level or levels to look at.

 

Read out the falsified word or words, including spelling, meanings and pronunciation, and see if your partner can spot what is wrong.
